In March 2013, ten youth ages 12-18 will be presented with a unique and exclusive horsemanship experience unlike any other. In its first year of operation, Legacy Mustang Preservation has clearly established itself as a national leader in the gentling and training of captured wild horses. LMP is now the home of the Virginia Pryor Nine, captured members of the Pryor Mountain, Montana herd of the famous Cloud, Stallion of the Rockies. LMP is the only training facility in the East selected to work with these special horses and received more Pryor horses for training than any facility in the nation.

Beginning March 2nd, ten youth will be given the opportunity to supplement their previous or current equine experience in an academy setting, studying the core spirit of the horse in a natural setting under nationally recognized equine trainer and communicator, Certified Horse Trainer, ACTHA Champion, and Extreme Mustang Makeover Finalist Jamie Dodson, along with ACTHA medal winner and Extreme Mustang Makeover Veteran Christina Flint. The calm and less intrusive, yet more productive, approach undertaken by this duo earned them considerable national acclaim, resulting in the gentling and adoption of 50 mustangs since inception.

Those accepted into the academy program will learn the essence of what horsemanship truly means. He or she will learn an understanding of and respect for the horse in its natural environment to include herd dynamics, behavior patterns resulting from social status within the herd, the importance of equine social order, and how to use natural patterns of behavior to facilitate calmer and more efficient training results.

If interested in this truly exclusive opportunity, please contact Christina Flint, Youth Program Director, at 540-661-9019 or Christina@ilovemustangs.org. Be the first to experience the only true example of natural horse behavior, the American Mustang.
